"It’s safe, good schools, great for families. New developments are coming, this might change the area, but still quite nice. Close to Vienna metro, and I-66."

"Asking a Fairfax resident, or any Northern Virginia resident for that matter, about their "commute" is laughable. NoVa is one of the busiest areas in America. That said, commutes will vary depending on a variety of factors. My commute is great as I commute in the opposite flow of regular traffic. I go West while they go East in the morning. "

"Traffic sucks in this whole area. Maryland, Virginia, DC. You will have a commute of probably at least an hour or more. "

"Fairhill elem and luther jackson middle are truly top notch/top rank, and continue to raise the bar every year. falls church high school is well ranked; but even better, it is a NON-CLIQUE, NON-BULLY inclusive environment, with advanced academics in a smaller more intimate school environment. your child doesn't get lost in the crowd, or marginalized.... inclusive student culture, where all support each other."

"Safe friendly neighborhood. Easy access to major highways - I-66 and I-495. Two nearby subway stations are less than 1 mile away. New Mosaic shooing and entertainment district is less than a mile away and Tyson's is a short 5 minute drive."

"I love this location as it is close to great shops, restaurants, Metro, and all the major road ways. I can get to DC in a short time, while Tyson's Corner is a short distance as well. Come check it out and you will love how convenient the area is to everything."

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLearning:This school provides the best education you can get. No other school surpasses it in the advanced level of learning it offers.Teaching:Every teacher in this school is respectful and kind and teaches from their heart. They teach us with an advanced curriculum and remind us that we can always reach our potential Insh'Allah. Outside of education, they often give gifts to students throughout the year! I always see students going home with bags full of toys, or anything that the they might need, all as rewards from their teachers mashAllah!! I myself have received gifts multiple times because of my grades or good behavior. They never hesitate to offer snacks if a student doesn’t have any. We also usually have fun days. Just recently, the school rented a moonbounce and provided a school-wide fun day filled with chips, ice cream, and pizza!Special Education:This school warmly accepts students with special needs. Both the faculty and the students are kind and understanding toward them.Safety:This school not only hosts seminars about bullying and discrimination but also takes a strong stand against any form of violence or exclusion.Food and Lunch:The food and lunch at this school are top-class—both in appearance and taste! It honestly feels gourmet. I don’t think any other school provides better food than this one.Overall:This school hasn’t given anyone a reason to speak negatively about it. It’s the best Islamic school, offering advanced courses in Arabic, Islamic Studies, and Quran. The amount of education and support provided here is unmatched. Teachers are always willing to stay after school to help explain anything you don’t understand.Student Review1y ago1 Reviews
